Advantages

Disadvantages

Full to Full

You'll have a full tank when you pick up your car. You can use as much fuel as you like and then refill the tank when you drop the vehicle off at the end. As long as you replace the fuel before returning the car, you won't face any extra fees

You only refill the amount of fuel that you've used. Used a half of a tank? Simply fill it back up to full. You won't be paying for any gas you didn't use. You can shop around for the cheapest prices and you'll only pay service charges if you don't refill the tank

Full to empty (pre-paid)

You'll receive the car with a full tank of gas and return the car with an empty tank. Check with the provider to see if they will refund you for any unused fuel

There will be no need to go searching for a gas station before you drop-off your car

You might pay a higher rate for the tank than you would filling up at a local gas station

Empty to empty

You will not have a full tank of fuel when you pick up your vehicle, and you won't have to refill the gas when you drop it back off

You refill your tank yourself, so you won't pay more than local pump prices

You'll need to find a gas station shortly after you collect the car

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

Most suppliers provide you a full tank policy. At CarRentals.com, we encourage returning the car with a full tank. If you want to save some money, find a filling station before bringing the rental. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

Unlimited mileage is a good choice for travelers who don't want to worry about watching the odometer their whole trip. You will just need to make sure there's nothing else in the small print that could add in extra costs.

Know before you go

Make sure you check a few items prior to leaving the car rental lot on your Canyon Dam adventure. You should:

Look over your vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it

Inspect the trunk to determine if the spare is inflated and the necessary tools to change it are there

Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers

Figure out how to work the radio or entertainment features. It's best to limit any unneeded distractions when you are driving around a new area
